I purposely picked a 1500 ram for MY comfort. Leg room, comfortable seats. Would have gotten a ram charger or bronco but none of the current SUVs out there have what I’m looking for. Most current SUVs are bloated-tick looking AWD estrogen vehicles .
Expedition comes closest but are no longer full F150 frame vehicles. (I won’t buy GM or foreign).

Some of the electronic amenities are a bit much to negotiate while driving. But I enjoy the music system and the back up camera is 1 thing I would miss the most.
I rarely use the capped 5’ bed. The back of the crew cab has enough room for most of my needs....but it’s there if I need it. My grown boys borrow it for hauling stuff in the bed.

Again I bought it as a comfortable 4x4 suv not necessarily a truck. I get around 22 mpg on the highway thanks to the multiple displacement hemi. Around town though it’s butt-awful at around 12.

Would buy it again if I had to. Nice vehicle.

The Expedition is still a full frame vehicle, built on a modified F-150 frame. In fact, they finally updated it from being on the 1997 F-150 frame to the 2015 F-150 frame. You’re thinking of the Explorer, which is basically a Taurus now.

That's a good description and I also call them AeroBlobs™.
